I think cTrader copy only copies the position and targets, and the rest is left up to your broker to fill? So as mentioned, If the strategy providers target is hit, but the copiers is not.. it will not close the copiers position..

If that is correct, please fix it so if a strategy providers target is hit, but the copiers has not yet, close the open position on the copiers account.

I understand that if a position is manually closed, it will close across the copiers as well.

Sorry if this wasn't more clear. Thank you.

Hi Matt,

That is not correct. cTrader Copy copies all the orders of the strategy provider. If the strategy provider's position is closed, then the copier's position is closed, no matter at what price level it is at the moment.
